I had given up all hope...my brother sent me a text yesterday announcing the publish date for George RR Martin's (my favorite author) newest 'A Song of Ice & Fire' novel. My doubt was not without justification. We (GRRM fans) had been down this road before, phantom "publish dates" released as far back as 2007. So forgive my disbelief that four years later I had to see it for myself.

I have been waiting 9 years for the next of this series. I was a senior in high school when I read A Storm of Swords. Some will say, "But what about 'A Feast for Crows'?" I say that that is only half a book. This is the other half and I will read them together. When he was writing the next book after ASoS, it became so long and so large that it was not feasible to do one book, so he split it. Not a traditional split into first half, second half. He only told half the perspective of the whole story in A Feast for Crows. A Dance with Dragons is the other half of the perspective.

I've waited patiently. Please don't let me down George.
